[Trombone-l] Equipment Question and Euphonium

[Eric Edwards]

Hi Paul,  I recommend replacing the entire leadpipe,  not just the receiver.
The new pipe gives the horn a MUCH freer blow.

Unfortunately, I don't remember what the Yamaha part number is for the large
bore leadpipe & receiver.
If I find it I'll pass it along.

Thanks
Eric

Subject: [Trombone-l] Equipment Question and Euphonium

I am going to start here with this.  A few years ago, I remember seeing a
survey of equipment of a number of professional trombonists.  It also listed
all their doubles.  I have searched, but can't seem to find it on the net.

To continue.....I remember that the most popular euph double is the Yamaha
YEP-321.  I also remember that the survey said a number of guys (maybe west
coast players) had the 321 modified for a large shank mouthpiece and I
remember some discussion about how it improved the horn.

Well I am getting a 321 off of eBay to play some community band
opportunities and would like to know what the modification is to make the
instrument large shank.  Is it just the receiver, or the whole lead pipe,
or???  And what instrument are the parts from?

Any help to at least point me in the right direction would be appreciated.
I have access to a couple of good repair guys, I just need to know what
parts to have them get.

Thanks in advance!!!
